Stina Persson – Perfectly Flawed

In her new solo show "Perfectly Flawed" taking place at gallery hanahou, Stockholm artist Stina Persson abandons her digital safety net to create unaltered works that are beautifully imperfect - or imperfectly beautiful - as a response to the increasingly flawless images with which we surround ourselves. The opening reception takes place on Thursday September 9th 2010 from 7PM until 9PM, running until October 1st.

For her newest work, the artist asked herself what would happen if she didn't scan, didn't retouch, and didn't work digitally at all. The result of that question is a series of more than 30 new works on paper, watercolor pieces of women with running paint, unconventional color choices, and skewed perspective - imperfections that are natural, unsettling, and beautiful.
